Mr. Fireman's Fishing Charters
For an unforgettable fishing trip around St. Simons, Jekyll, and Sapelo Islands, look no further than Mr. Fireman's Fishing Charters. Led by the expert Captain Vashon, you’ll benefit from a knowledgeable guide who knows these local waters inside and out.
You’ll ride in comfort aboard a 34' Grady-White Canyon 336 center console, which accommodates up to six passengers and features premium amenities like a private bathroom, AC/heat, a microwave, and a sleeping area. Mr. Fireman's Fishing Charters provides all essential rods, reels, tackle, and live bait. To keep you energized, trips include snacks, drinks, and hot coffee.
Depending on the season, you may hook into a wide variety of species, including Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, Gag Grouper, and African Pompano. Whether you prefer spinning, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or spearfishing, you are welcome to keep any catch within legal limits.
For high-adventure Gulf stream runs, Mr. Fireman's Fishing Charters requires a three-day booking window to ensure the safest sea states and optimal weather conditions for your trip.
During these extended excursions, you can expect: to have a wide spread with outriggers out and Troll for elite game fish like Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Billfish, or utilize deep-drop bottom fishing techniques for Large Mutton Snapper and Grouper.
You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 20% tip.
Please be advised that guests are responsible for any fishing rods or reels lost overboard during the trip. Whether the loss occurs through an accident or an intentional act, a $500 replacement fee will be charged per item.
The charter boat covers your fishing, state, and federal permits and fishing licenses, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special size rules or limited seasons. PET FRIENDLY

Jim Becker5.0VerifiedA nonstop bent rod afternoon!
4hr Near Shore pm on March 26, 2026 • 3 adultsThis was our first charter with Cpt. Vashon. When the NWS posted gale warnings for the day of our charter I had some concerns but Cpt.Vashon was on top of it with excellent communication and arranged a different day and time. He and Devin were on time and fully prepared with a beautiful boat. Our near shore charter was great with plenty of seabass, mackerel and bluefish providing an almost nonstop bent rod afternoon. My son did catch a redfish but it had to be released due to size (too big). We brought home a cooler full of cleaned fish and Cpt. Vashon provided a full bag of ice for the trip home. We all had a great afternoon and look forward to future charters. This was our third charter along the GA coast and so far the most successful. Highly recommended.
Theresa Dyer5.0VerifiedGreat trip
8 Hr Trip–Fishing R5 Naval Tower AM on May 15, 2026 • 5 adultsCrew was watching the weather days in advance and our scheduled day was going to be windy. My group and the boat crew was able to adjust our schedule and go out the evening before. Water was glass and our first time out at night made it a great experience.
Alex Coffee5.0VerifiedAmazing fishing trip with Captain Vashon
Nearshore Wrecks and Reefs on August 19, 2026 • 6 adults • 4 childrenSo much fun. Captain Vashon put us on tons of Black bass right away, caught a flounder and red snapper as well. The pièce de résistance however, was the 10 ft tiger shark we caught and released. Will book another trip with Captain Vashon.
Jeff Killian5.01/2 Day with Capt. Herring
4 Hour Trip –Wreck/Reef/Offshore AM on November 15, 2025What a wonderful day. Weather was great. Seas were calm. Crew was exceptional. We caught black bass, red snapper (which we had to release because of regulations) trigger fish and blue fish. Capt. Herring did all he could to keep us on the fish and did not disappoint.

8 Hr Trip–Fishing R5 Naval Tower PM on April 2, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 childrenCaption Vashon was awesome with our kids and he put us on fish all day. We caught red snapper, amber jack, Black Sea bass, vermillion snapper and grouper. It was the best all around fishing charter that we have taken!

Lee Burnett4.7The Fireman is on 🔥 🔥 🔥!
6 Hour Trip –Wreck/Reef/Offshore AM on July 31, 2025Hooked A TON of huge Cobia! So much fun trying to land them before the GIANT 7-8 feet sharks we could see swimming around ate them first! Water was so clear we could see all the action below! Also saw a huge sea turtle. Now my 15-year-old can say not only did he catch his biggest fish ever, he had a 1000lb shark on the line! My little man also caught a bunch of Remoras and some Black Sea Bass! It was a bit slow at first but Vashon worked extremely hard finding the fish and literally went the extra mile to ensure we had a great time! Very knowledgeable and innovative 1st Mates as well! Overall great trip! Gave us all organisms (to eat)! 😉.
Forrest TurbervilleRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Day!
6 Hour Trip –Wreck/Reef/Offshore AM on May 23, 2025 • 4 adultsMr. Fireman’s Charter is one of the better charter fishing trips I’ve been on, and I’ve been on many! They had us on fish within a few minutes of our line hitting the water! Landed Red Snapper, Barracuda, Vermillion Snapper, Pompano, and several other smaller species of fish. Looking forward to our next trip with Mr. Fireman’s!

I live in Ga. this was a local fishing trip from my wife. I recommend using Captain Vashon for next inshore/offshore experience. He will put on the fish and have you catching fish or getting great bites from the first time you drop your line in the water. Them it's up to you to show your skills, but he will assist in helping if needed. His price is very reasonable. He is my go to guy in Ga. and far the best charter I've used thus far.
thank you rob, we greatly appricate it from a felow local. and hope to see you all again. see what the next line of funny stories we can share.
